Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients, especially for the custard filling.
  • Make sure the custard is thick enough before chilling. It should coat the back of a spoon.
  • Chill the custard and cake balls for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in the chocolate. This will help the chocolate set quickly and smoothly.
  • Use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the chocolate. This will help prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Dip the cake balls in the chocolate one at a time, using a fork or toothpick. Tap the fork or toothpick against the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
  • Place the dipped cake balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them set completely. This may take several hours or overnight.
  • Store the cake pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
